Im going to use dewalt with the wheeled dolly
Pretty sick system, how did you go about securing the battery clamp at the base without it protruding into the packout cleats on the under side?
Love this system mate! Great work! Keen to give it a go for my build
FWIW, I've watched ham and GMRS radio reviews and general knowledge radio videos for about 5 months. Decided to try a practice exam and managed to get 24/35 missing a "pass" by two answers. It's a good way to learn some of the terms and concepts. Then, applying your study technique should bring an easy pass.
thanks 🙏
Great job! Imo its TOO NICE lol
@@wallheadkdir it served me well for a time. Thanks for watching!
Of a set up like this what would the approximate cost be minus the compressor? I would love to do this exact set up
@@thomasalbanese7275 I’ll post a follow up with a link where you can configure the system with different components and you’ll get a price after configuring.
You should definitely look at installing / fitting silicon, or other insulating boots around the input power to your inverter!!!! Everything looks really tidy though!!
@@r1017397 doesn’t need them. Nothing can get into the box to short across the terminals.
was there a reason you did not include venting in the batter box
@@wm4126 the battery is lithium iron phosphate so it doesn’t off gas and they’re shouldn’t be anything creating any significant heat since I sized the system correctly, but I’ll probably go back and put one in for one reason. I recently went on a trip with a friend who incorrectly sized the wiring going to his air compressor. This person also forgot to put a fuse in the circuit. It was all due to being rushed to get it all installed last minute before our trip and this person simply slipped up. On our trip, he kicked the compressor on to air up his tires and after a few minutes of it running he saw smoke coming from the vicinity of his 12v system, so he grabbed his fire extinguisher and shut down the air compressor. The wire insulation was melted, and luckily he didn’t have to end up using his extinguisher. That got me thinking about my choice of not having a vent in the battery box. Even though I have everything appropriately sized in the system, in the rare event something caused the current flow to be restricted to the point where wire insulation started melting, it would be too late if I saw smoke. Having a vent would allow the smoke to exit the box where I could detect the problem much earlier. For this reason I will be installing a vent.
Share build details 🙌
@@Sierra1M what would you like to see? Individual component specs?
Did I miss the total cost of this unit?
Great idea! You could also make one stage for a two way radio. 😛😛😛
@@paulschimel3572 could be cool!
Black anodize made it look really nice. I’m glad he went that route.
Genius
Plz continue making more videos 🎉
@@RMACIAS2460 will do!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nicely done. Very clean and efficient setup. I was playing around with the XL, and put all my recovery gear in it. I came across a guy that makes a metal locking plate; should’ve got the option with the “ramp” leading to the locking mechanism. Only about 3/4”, mounted on 5/8” aluminum extrusion, on top of Decked drawers.
@@ninez5740 I’ve seen those one Etsy. They are nice. We have the locking pattern in CAD now so we are designing our own brackets that allow packouts to mount to them.
What’s the benefit over a power unit like EcoFlow Delta? Seems like alot of work and money for same thing.
I built my own, the selling point for me is user serviceability, I don’t think you could open up, diagnose and fix a flow or similar. The next thing is it lets you oversize the components that matter to you.
What caught my eye was the outlet sized for a diesel heater. Most have regulated 12V/10A outlets and those heaters can take up to 13A(?) when starting up. I know my Bluetti will sometimes shut off during startup, which isn't good for the heater.
First thing that comes to mind is the $ alone and second not only do you get to customize it to your needs, can get the sense of accomplishment of doing something for your build over buying everything
In 2024 you are spot on. I’m someone who years ago built my own system too. It was super satisfying and still works great. But now I have EcoFlow delta pro unit & it’s a beast. To build this guys unit will Cost way more than a commercial unit. & Be way way physically bigger 😂 But yes it’s fun and satisfying to build your own. Just be real with yourself with what you expect and need.
@@MrBetoybrenda all these comments are spot on for why you would build vs buy. It is quite a bit more expensive to do it this way vs buying something like an EcoFlow, but you can size the battery capacity and outlet options any way you like doing it this way. Plus since they are packouts you can lock them in place somewhere without needing to strap something like an EcoFlow down.
Thinking outside the box ….very cool !…. Can you show how you have it secured to the truck from moving or tilting…
Thinking "inside the box" actually. Red ones.
@@jehadhannoush1457 it doesn’t move around too bad, but I did temporarily secure the top with heavy duty zip ties for now. What idea do you have?
Super smart nice going
You've seen the light. great setup you got going. I love Packout, I keep my tools and gear in multiple boxes locked down on a Packout locking plate in my Jeep.
🤘
So beautiful!!! ❤❤❤
Good insight, thank you
Woww!! Where can i find more videos about this car??
They need to bring back the morse code part of the exam for advanced, general and extra class. now anyone can get a license. I had to pass 20 wpm morse code to get my extra class license. It was a big mistake removing that part.
Very helpful, thank you. The more research I do (and I've done waaaay too much) the further I lean towards an aluminum box. I hear that Zarges outperformes even Alu-Box, and performance is what I'm after. But it's mainly the "interior volume to weight/exterior volume" metric ... along with extremely strong water/dust protection... that I'm interested in for my 4Runner roof rack.
Unfortunately that app is for Mac and I phone owners only and not for those that own and have Android phones or a standard IBM style computer. Oh well, that's normal now-a-days, everything is for Apple MAC or I Phone. I myself wouldn't own or have an I phone, I Pad, MAC or an Apple computer product.
THANK YOU for this video - I was on the 32 hour course plan! Saw your video yesterday, downloaded the app. watched a few other videos for context. Went to my local club tonight and passed with a 31/35. I read @johnwest comments about REALLY STUDYING - but I only got it to "legally" fly a new uav/drone I am building which requires the FCC HAM license due to the transmissions between the remote and the drone. And of course, when our country falls into a civil war and lawlessness, I'll be able to communicate with other patriots :)
You said PVC, so did you paint it black or did you actually mean ABS? PVC is white. ABS is sewage piping and is black.
PVC. I painted it black.
Or just buy a solar shower for $15 and only fill it when needed
That’s one way to do it, but most solar showers I’ve seen aren’t pressurized.
It is good to get your Ham Radio license. It is an achievement that requires some study, not every question is intuitive & most people fail if they take the exam without study. On the other hand, it is almost like answer key studies. It does not make you a subject matter expert- it is permission to start. Experience & practice is just as important after you get your license.
I winged my first practice test and got a 40 on it (without any studying)
Lowering the pressure in half should help saving water and make showering less painful from that jet stream :)))
For those of us with 10A max 12v plugs on our power banks (EcoFlow Delta2 Max for instance), do you sell the ac-dc converters so that we could essentially use our ac plugs in our power supplies for the Planar heater? I can pull 2000W on my ac ports but am limited to 10A in my 12v port, which isn’t enough for the Planar.
This is awesome. Been five years now since this video. Any updates? Still working fine. I’m about to make one soon and have some questions for you.
You should leave the tailgate solid, there made to float that way. Or sell it and find one some what done the way you want. Guys would love to have a original trailer without being modified. I have a 43 willys trailer, that , that the tailgate was cut out before I got it. Better structure to the tub also if your going to add a roof tent
No, cb is not be fazed out... it's alive & kickin!
you can get 10 chinese crap heaters for the price of this lol. even if 8 of them fail you're still ahead of the game
They really are. I am on my second Chinese heater the first one failed after 4 hours 😂. Wish the good ones weren't so crazy expensive.
Could these adapters run to a fuse block to power multiple devices (eg led lights and domestic fridge)?
Great advice and very informative! Need to save my pennies for Planar with a sweet power bank!!!!
How long would that bluetti adapter take to ship? Because it's still showing as pre-order.
I have mine hard wired to 2 X 12 volt 100 amp hour lithium Iron Phosphate batteries! Works flawlessly!
That’s plenty of power for sure!
У меня вопрос, зачем такой сильный напор воды при столь малом объёме бака, она у вас очень быстро вытекает и заканчивается , чтобы помыть овощи или тело такой напор не нужен , с рождеством вас 🙏
You mention needing the proper guage of wire for the pigtail several times but I never heard your recommendation. Is 14 gu good enough for a 8-10 ft cord or should I go to 12?
Do any of your heaters have a 110v option?
I’m sorry, they do not. The only way to run off of 110v would be to buy a 110 to 12v converter, but even then the heater is still running off 12v. You’re just converting 110 to 12v.
Planar is VERY clear to NOT use a cigaret lighter plug! Accidental disconnection (by tripping over the wire) will kill the heater!!!! There is a reason why they are manufactured with 0 terminals.
I definitely am interested in the heater unit but when I'm with my wife we will be tent camping in our 4 person Gazelle away from our vehicle so I'm glad you did this video addressing the remote power sources. I'll be looking for a power source before purchasing the heater.
thanks for the link! I have RF experience, but no experience with Ham radio and want to get my HAm license to have a radio for emergency comms to overland, have for remote hunting areas, etc. Basically its part of just "being prepared"
